“If people stop me at airports or restaurants, and I like that, I’m always curious whether they know me from my work in television or my work in books,” McCullough told CNS in an April 9 telephone interview. “My wife Rosalee and I pulled up one time in a hotel in Philadelphia and the doorman opened the door for Rosalee to get out. I popped the trunk for the doorman to get the suitcases,” he recounted.
